Melt My Heart by Bethany Rutter
3.0
Sadly this one i enjoyed less than "no big deal". It was still a good book, i loved the bisexual fat female rep. But there was some things that didnt work for me.
1. Dialogues - i feel like sometimes they just weren't realstic. Most authors usually tries too hard to soud like teens, but i think Rutter was just not trying at all and sometimes i felt like i was reading a conversation between two elderly ladies rather two eighteen year-old girls.
2. Although i loved the concept of fat rep i really am sick of seeing fat girls hating themselves in books/movies. Lily was saying that she loved her body and she was okay with it but at the same time she was like "oh why Cal likes me when i'm so fat, nobody likes fat people". Like girl, chill. You can write fat character who actually likes and accepts themselves. And i guess it could be great if Lily started to ACTUALLY love her body at the end of the book but she kinda didnt?
3. I think the bi rep was great. Lily has a crush both on a boy and a girl. I think it could have been discussed more but i still really liked it.
4. I think the ending was very cute. No complains about it.
